New Japan Cup - Final:The winner of this year's New Japan Cup will challenge IWGP Unified Heavyweight Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura, on the 3/30 Korakuen show, which is one of those bigger Korakuen shows with inflated ticket prices. With both belts in hand, Nakamura today held a press conference to discuss his historic win yesterday and what lies ahead. Shinsuke said he is feeling drawbacks of yesterday's fight, especially his ankle, which Angle punished with his ankle locks. Nakamura said he didn't really consider yesterday's match a title defense, but more of a start to something new, and everything begins again from here. As mentioned in the update below, Nakamura also has his eyes on an IWGP2 crown, with he and Bernard set to challenge IWGP Tag Team Champions, Makabe & Yano, at the beginning of the next tour. Nakamura revealed that he trusts Bernard more than anyone and the young ace wants his RISE faction to take both sets of tag belts back, after losing them yesterday. Nakamura said his growth would not stop now that he's won what could turn out to be the biggest match of his career, and promised to intercept the NJC winner at the end of March and successfully defend his title. Finally, Nakamura swore to become the strongest IWGP Heavyweight Champion in history.

Also, I know that NOAH and AJPW have big shows coming up, and was wondering if anyone wanted to cover news/results from those two promotions, if I covered NJPW. Thanks.
